A, B, C, D, E, F, G โ™ซ โ™ซ

It’s been awhile since I’ve followed through with awards, simply because of life and time limits, not because they weren’t greatly appreciated. So, I
recently received this ABC award (that I don’t remember receiving in the past) from a lovely lady and new friend,
Cha, at
http://www.dontchawannadream.wordpress.com

She is a wonderful artist that I’ve enjoyed getting to know just recently.
She also has a big heart and a constant “smile.” If you haven’t visited her blog, please do so, you won’t be disappointed! Merci beaucoup, Cha! xxx

Here are the rules for this fun award:

1) Thank and link back to who nominated you.
2) Say something about yourself with a word or a phrase beginning with each letter of the alphabet.
3) And of course nominate some other bloggers for the award!

So here goesโ€ฆand I admit to cheating a bit…some have more than one word! ๐Ÿ™‚

A Affectionate B Bride, 24 years ago C- Caring D– Dancing, love it E Emotional F – Friends, loved the sitcom G Gemstones H – Hugs & Hubby I Ice cream, Mint Chocolate Chip J– January (wedding anniversary) K– Kids (2) L– Lattes M– Music & Mountains N– Never Give Up! O– Ocean
P– Pets, dogs to be specific Q– Quarters (meter $)ย R–ย  Reading, Rainbows & Rivers S Singing T Tim McGraw U Understanding V– Vanilla W– Wine
X– X-rays (from the past, this was tough) Y– Yoda, George Lucas lives near usย  Z– Zealous ๐Ÿ™‚

Instead of choosing specific bloggers to pass this on to, I leave it up to you! If you’d like to play along and pass it on, then please feel free! This was really fun and even a little challenging! I hope you enjoyed and thanks so much for stopping by!ย  Have a wonderful day or evening! Lauren โ™ฅ

CAUTION, APRIL FOOL’S DAY!

april fool's day

Tread carefully through this day

Eyes looking every which way

Donโ€™t believe all you hear

let the words go out the other ear

Today is not just an ordinary Monday

itโ€™s a day of silliness and pranks

So stay alert as you work and play

and have a Happy April Foolโ€™s Day

๐Ÿ™‚

Smile :) (re-post)

Just when you think
all is worked out
A wrench is thrown in
creating new doubt

Your mind is befuddled
Your breathing sporadic
Bitterness comes a knockinโ€™
Life becomes problematic

But donโ€™t think youโ€™re incapable
of crawling through the haze
Donโ€™t think youโ€™ve exhausted
all the feasible ways

Even though lifeโ€™s been
a true humdinger
In your dark and sour mood
You must not linger

Get up, dust off
Stop your yammerinโ€™
or youโ€™ll start your family
and friends all a clamorinโ€™

Does absolutely no good
to frequently niggle, so
when youโ€™re feelinโ€™ down,
form a grin and try a giggle!

(This is an oldie
from February of last year,
but I thought we all could use
a smile today! )

Make Time For…

Dancinโ€™ down the street
sendin‘ good vibes to those you meet
for raisinโ€™ your arms high in the air
and lettinโ€™ the wind blow your hair
for smellinโ€™ the flowers along the way
and thankinโ€™ God for another day
for sharinโ€™ a smile to a stranger you see
and in their eyes findin’ glee
for rollinโ€™ down a hill of grass
feelinโ€™ like a kid with class
for eatinโ€™ ice cream in summer sun
for enjoyinโ€™ life and livinโ€™ and fun
for singinโ€™ with raindrops
and puddle splashin’ in flip flops
for lots of laughinโ€™ and tappin’
and hugginโ€™ and lovinโ€™

Smile, TGIF! :) :)

Another week of productivity

has sifted through our fingers

A feeling of accomplishment

pleasantly lingers

Now it’s time for our inner-child

to surface, once again

Time for play and relaxation

with our family and our friends!

Enjoy! It’s the weekend! ๐Ÿ™‚

Ripples

Hug a little
Jig a little
Kiss a little
Skip a little
Touch a little
Smile a little
Sigh a little
Try a little
Help a little
Laugh a little
Walk a little
Talk a little
Lend a little
Bend a little
Live a little
